Hello and good day, Snarry lovers, supporters and friends;


We are now at the halfway mark here at the Games! 33 out of 66 stories have been posted.

Because of this, we will be allowing this day for the purposes of catching up for those who may not have had the chance to read and enjoy some of the stories at the Games due to their length. Please take this day to enjoy them, or to gear up for what's to come. We appreciate the support of the readers, fans and judges.

We are also very proud of the Champions and their support of each other during this process. Go Teams!

For those of you who wish to upload some banners, you can find them here. Would you like to get to know some of our authors better? Feel free to peruse the Champion Interviews.

Did you want to contribute to the Closing Games? We set aside some time after the last story is posted for the readers and voters to catch up, as well as for counting the polls. During that time, we post the Closing Games Drabbles Contest. We have already received some submissions! Would you like to write some drabbles based on this year's prompts and themes?

And don't forget, if you need a laugh, to enjoy our Opening Games Crack!Art, as provided by the 2006 Snarry Summer Art Games champions!

Any questions? Check out our FAQs.

We hope you are enjoying it so far. There is much yet to come.

Have a great day! ♥

For those of you who are not aware, the lottery contestants who did not make the Teams have been given the opportunity to showcase their talents, as a precursor to their automatic invite to the next Author Games.

We are presenting the Closing Ceremonies Drabble Contest!

Is everyone enjoying the Games so far? I certainly have. I would like to thank Team Romance and Team Angst for all their glorious work so far. And it has been glorious, folks.

I have been asked several questions during the recent week I would like to address.

1. When are the Games over?

We anticipate the last of the Team entries to be posted no later than Tuesday, May 9th - barring complications with late submissions. ETA: There has been complications. We are running behind 2 full days, perhaps more.


2. When will the voting stop?

Once the last prompt is posted, the mods will wait for at least 2 full days for voting to continue, then pull the polls down for tallying. We hope to have all the votes processed within 2 days.


3. What will happen then?

On or about the 15th May, we will have the Medal Award Ceremonies. After which, we will have our Closing Games, which include the drabbles done by future Snarry Champions, either those who missed out on the lottery, or Team Alternates who did not get a chance to write, and are automatically invited to the next Winter Games, after our Summer Art Gamess (TBA August 2006). Those drabbles are due by May 7, for any of you who are participating. We have already received many, and they are wonderful!


4. Can the Teams *pimp* their stories anywhere during the Games?

Absolutely! It says so in the Comm User Info, but I will reiterate it here.

Teams/authors may post or pimp their own stories wherever, but while the Games are on, they need to directly link to this community to enable the polling voting process for their teams's numbers. Failure to do so will threaten their team's chances of success!

ETA: It has come to my attention that many people are linking to off-site stories DIRECTLY. PLease do not while the games are on. Doing so will skew the author's votes! Please link to the community when reccing these stories! Thank you!

5. When can I post my story on my archive, or journal?

Anytime after the Medal Ceremonies.


6. Will the Judges Poll numbers be released to the public?

Overall Team numbers will be released during the Medal Ceremony. If an author wishes to know their individual tally for their team, they can email the mods with the request at the comm email, and we will provide it.

Thank you to everyone so far for participating, both writers and readers, and making this inaugural 2006 Snarry Games a success!
